To start off ranked so well by both sites is definately a good sign. If he jumps up to one of the top 5 DT's in the class, at least on scout, that would make him a pretty good candidate for a 5th star. But maybe that's me getting ahead of myself.

My apologies. My senior year at UM I took a PoliSci class about Pacific Rim politics focusing on Tonga and the like...but I guess that hasn't prevented other ignorance about the area. I thought Samoans referred to the larger area.

No big deal. I used to live in the South Pacific (Nuku'alofa is beautiful this time of year) and I still have trouble identifying some people. I just wonder how long it will take for someone in Michigan to ask him how he's related to The Rock.

I feel like DT is a position we need athleticism and size going forward, and it looks like Mone fits the bill! Regardless, I'm glad he is Blue, and hopefully this will kickstart a flood of recruits in the coming days/weeks! Go blue! Welcome to the family.

We're still a week away from the one-year anniversary of probably the greatest weekend in MIchigan recruiting history. Is this beginning of a repeat?

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get into a land war with Asia. But only slightly less well known is this: never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line!
